Beware tho Peacock Feather,

This lady says that she once warned
Presldont Arthur not to keep it, as it
was the most unlucky thing he could
have about the house, but he laughed at

When he left the White House he pre-
sentod the bird to Mrs. John Davis, and
the lady of the legation called my atten-
tlon to the fact that Mrs. Davis had met
with many misfortunes since for which
the peacock was responsible. I had
never heard of this superstition before,
but upon inquiry found that it was quite
prevalent in Europe, and the French
Minister told me that the ill fortunes of
the Empress Josephine were attributed
to the fact that she was excessively fond
